Walking around nearby forested area I noticed few of those flying around. Shy little things that blend so well with the dried leaves and sticks around. They are also small enough to go around and between all the little gaps in bushes.
Finally one decided to sit for a little bit on a dry Heather branch. I trying to get as close as I could and just kept showing in case it decided to fly away.
And he was just walking slowly along the stick and moving his wings. What a pretty thing!
I tried to find and ID for it and the closest I saw was Marine Blue [Leptotes marina], but all the info I found was pointing out that it is American butterfly. Could it be that it is also widespread in Europe, or there is a similar one?
Please someone correct me if it is not this one.

Thank you :)
Such beautiful colors! However did you even see this? That first shot is spectacular.
He was flying around me... then I just followed him :D
I spy...
The real reason why moths are always attracted to the spotlight, their all exhibitionist!
The shouting
Moth man: AGHH! Take my photo here. Capture me in all my beauty!
This just verifies that Ewkaw is a moth lover and a furry
Haha funny you say that :D
Didn't you know moths are evil?
Great shot! So sharp 💫
Thank you :)
It looks so beautiful. You have captured beautifully. This butterfly is so cute.
Thanks :)

It has tiny cute owl eyes on its wings :D
To see things better :D
wow! nice pics. There are two yellow dots on the butterfly's wings that look like two eyes.
Hah yea :D
Oh my goodness, how gorgeous! Stunning shots @ewkaw 🦋🧡🦋
Thank you! :)
Always a pleasure Ewka 💖😍💖
The first photo is great, I'm working on swapping my 60mm lens for a 105 lens.
My 105 is almost permanently attached to my camera :D
Hope you like yours too!
Those two yellow well designed dots, so chic 😍
Fancy little thing :)
She is beautiful....I guess not a witch...or did she make a spell on you ?!? 🦋💫
It's not a moth.. it's safe :))
Oh, you're so lucky to have seen it. Nature continues to offer us all its beauties. The photos are so beautiful that I felt like I was there. 😍
Thank you! It is common one around here, but not the easiest to catch.
Maybe that's what makes it worthwhile😍
Definitely! :)
Amazing Photography! Fantastically beautiful! ❤️
You are too sweet and your photography is gorgeous! God bless you dear friend.
Thank you very much :)
Wow, how did you find one so late in the year.
I shot those in late October I believe... it's still pretty warm here at that time.
It was the only type I saw though.

Anything not to be eaten :P
I didn't say anything to eat :D
Wow! Lucky you! I don't remember seeing a butterfly like this before.
They must be hiding better in your part of the world :))
Probably :)
The eyes on the wings surprised) It seems like a familiar butterfly, but I have not seen such eyes!
I had hard time finding ID for this one. I saw few similar looking ones, but not exactly. So I am not sure if it is different, or maybe they do slightly change colour when it's cold.. No idea.
